From howardk@aa.wl.com Mon Jul 11 15:25:33 1994 Date: Mon, 11 Jul 1994 09:24:41 -0400 (EDT) From: Kit Howard =^^= Subject: ADF Suggested readings list. Suggested Readings Following is some recommended reading on Druidism Ancient and Modern, and associated topics. This is a very brief list, and admittedly quite heavily weighted in the Celtic direction. The ADF Study Program Guide is an excellent source for additional suggestions in other areas. The books below and those in the Study Program Guide are considered to be of sound scholarship, which is not true of much of what has been published about the Druids. You'll notice that most of the publication dates are relatively recent. This is because up until the 1950's research into the Druids was heavily influenced by a couple of hundred years of publication which ranged from mere inaccuracy to pure fantasy. It is only within the last 40 years or so that scholars have begun to tease out a clearer understanding of who and what the Druids really were. 'The Druids', Stuart Piggott.
